MOTHER GOTHEL:
Rapunzel!
RAPUNZEL:
So, mother, earlier I was saying tomorrow’s a pretty big jour and toi didn’t really respond, so I’m just gonna tell you, it’s my birthday! Uh. Tada!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
No, no, no, can’t be. I distinctly remember: your birthday was last year.
RAPUNZEL:
That’s the funny thing about birthdays–they’re kind of an annual thing!
Uh, Mother, I’m turning eighteen, and I wanted to ask, uh, what I really want for this birthday…
Actually what I really want for my birth–want for my birth–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Okay, Rapunzel, please, stop with the mumbling. toi know how I feel about the mumbling–blah-blah-blah-blah, it’s very annoying, I’m just teasing, you’re adorable, I l’amour toi so much, darling. Agh.
[Pascal urges Rapunzel]
RAPUNZEL:
Ah, I want to see the floating lights.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Uh-huh. What?
RAPUNZEL:
Oh. Well, I was hoping toi would take me to see the floating lights.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Oo. toi mean the stars.
RAPUNZEL:
That’s the thing. I’ve charted stars and they’re always constant–but these–they appear every an on my birthday, mother–ONLY on my birthday. And I can’t help but feel like they’re… they’re meant for me.
I need to see them, mother, and not just from my window. In person. I have to know what they are.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
toi want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
toi know why we stay up in this tower
RAPUNZEL:
I know but…
MOTHER GOTHEL:
That’s right, to keep toi sûr, sans danger and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this jour was coming
Knew that soon you’d want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
RAPUNZEL:
But–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Shh! Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
[Lights out]
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
RAPUNZEL:
Agh!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
It’s a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way ou another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes…
The plague!
RAPUNZEL:
No!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Yes!
RAPUNZEL:
But–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Also large bugs
RAPUNZEL:
Ah!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Men with pointy teeth, and stop, no more, you’ll just upset me
Mother’s right here, mother will protect you
Darling here’s what I suggest
Skip the drama, stay with mama
Mother knows best
Ah, hahahaha…
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, toi won’t survive
Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy
Please, they’ll eat toi up alive
Gullible, naive, positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe, gettin’ kinda chubby
I’m just saying ’cause I wuv you
Mother understands, mother’s here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
RAPUNZEL:
Yes?
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Don’t ever ask to leave this tower again.
RAPUNZEL:
Yes, Mother.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Uh, I l’amour toi very much, dear.
RAPUNZEL:
I l’amour toi more.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
I l’amour toi most. [kisses R's forehead]
Don’t forget it, you’ll regret it
Mother knows best!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Rapunzel! I’ll see toi in a bit, my flower.
RAPUNZEL:
I’ll be here.
